Collections
A collection can be no less than six but not more than twelve items that you have put together as a collection. Due to limited display space bring only small items (no bigger than a bread box). If you have larger items, please call ahead, and see if there is space for them. Really small items need to be a display box or case or attached to something so they will not be lost or separated during the judging.  Each collection will be judged on its own merit. Cleanliness, uniqueness, and how neatly the items are displayed will part of judging.
